How It Works
• Fuel from the tank enters the Diesel Pro® body
(suction side of the fuel system).
• Large contaminants and “free” water are
separated from the fuel and remain in the
body.
• Fuel rises into the clear cover. 3 4
• Contaminants and emulsified water are
captured by the filter media.
• Fuel level rises to maintain a fuel path
through the clean filter media and with lowest
restriction.
• Clean, water-free fuel exits the Diesel Pro and
flows to the lift pump.
